    Operations

     Hey  guys/girls

     I am just curious if there are any operatoins that can correct Occulentnios (or how ever u spell it lol) Albinism. My vision is currenlty 6/60 on my left eye and 3/60 on my right, my current doctor says no such operatoin exists but i am curious if one exists in america.

     

    Thanks

    Re: Operations

    i dont think there are any....i have the same albinism && the only thing they can do for me is nystagmus surgery....that CAN bring your vision down though....maybe think about that? but nothing can be done to totally get rid of albinism

    Never regret anything that once made you smile...♥

     Jamie,

    There are surgeries to correct Nystagmus and Strabismus. But, there is nothing out there to correct the Albinism.  Because the Albinism is also caused by underdevelopment of the pathways in the brain when we were all delevoping in the womb.
